It is always sad when someone dies or gets injured in a traffic accident.

That being said, for a fatal accident to happen at this location is senseless. There may not even be 1/8 th of a mile of road left between this turnpike exit and the end of k-10 where you have to either turn left or right onto the farmers turnpike.

Thus the south bound car would have just gotten onto K-10. So why was he in a rush to turn onto the Turnpike? Couldn't he have waited for the north bound car to pass?

The north bound car would have had to come to a complete stop about an 1/8 of a mile where K-10 ends. Wasn't he slowing down since he had a stop sign just a head, or was he going to slam on his breaks in an 1/8th of a mile?

It sounds to me that this accident was due to impatience, or inattentive driving or both.

According to studies within a few years, seniors are 3 times more likely to cause/be involved in an accident. How many times do you hear of a young person driving the wrong way on the highway? Or running their car into the side of a building?
I'm not saying ALL seniors are bad drivers, but I definitely notice the trend.
